No, I there's another problem of people setting it as high as they possibly can ("hey, I might put 3G of ram in here someday...") without realizing that there are tradeoffs and they probably want the default. I think the question should be phrased as "Limit userspace memory to..." instead of "Maximum physical memory..." for this reason.
